In ndditttm to n few remarks in my lust tetter 011 mill tary trniniiif:, suller me to tmy, that however valuable the education ot' some of our officer! abroad may be, it will lie of uinall avail, if the information thus acquired as in the c;uii' of two of tlieui, who have been students nt the jrrent Military Acntieuty at Metlj shall not be implied to mitten OT practical utility. They were sent 10 that institution alninsl exclusivctv to learn from the clinical instruction, if I may call it so, which is given there, tin method of conducting sieges, constructing batteries, milieu, etc., in order to instructadetai'lnneiit of our little army in this very important brunch of the military art. This accomplished, we should he in a state of preparation for coming events, which are even now ensting their shadows before. Hut, judging from past management, I don't suppose, that any body, among the very modest and unassuming population of the United Stales, believes, that any thing can ever happen to render such acquisitions of the leMt consequence.Who believes, that (Jibraller itself enn hold out n-ga'uist an army composed of the genuine sovereign people a moment longer, than it will take to walk into it.' The walls ot J lie walls ot Jericho lell down at tin- slmut n! the chosen MMU without the application ol nattering ram or artillery, sappers or miners. ny sunum not w ose , nf Quebec then do the same at the mere hurrah of battall.ons, who, it not actually cAo.sc,, are to a man tUgmt to the highest Offloefl 111 the Stale ? Our mil.- 1 tary men indeed nel:eve, that to succeed m attacks on fortified plan a corps of suppers and miners is highly , convenient, 11ml, in general, absolutely iiulispensihle And of such a body trained to make bricks without 1 straw, to turn houses ami barns into forts, fences into ! ramparts, and stone walls into impregnable citadels, we ; have not a single man, save a few ollicers, of whose j services death may at any time deprive the country, 1 ivwium '"o" " "-"h i trievable. Jtut Conirress must he excused for their inattention to this, and many other great interests of the community. How is it possible for a politician, for j he is not a statesman who is eternally looking at everv tiling through a microscope of his own dirty self interest how is it possible for such n man to see any oh- I ject, which shall happen to lie a single yard beyond its contracted focus 5 F-very thing really elevated, public and above board, is clearly beyond the range ot his eye. Hut there is one little speek, which he watches with the keen glance of an eagle, though at a distance, it may be of a thousand miles from the Capitol ut Washington, and marks its slightest vibration it is the hallot-hox ot' his constituents. From this mighty symbol he never withdraws bis gn.e, unless it is to ti v it on a still more fascinating vision at the White House, which at one time looks like blind Fortune dispensing gifts to bending suppliants around, at another seems an angry magistrate, pronouncing sentence. The weather, which, since our first day's ride, had been almost continually a kind of dn' oiis drizzle, now as we approached the boundaries id' I ranee and Switzerland came to a resolution to clear up its mtfttiUd character, and the rain descended in a most decided niiinner. Jteing no longer in any doubt on that matter, we were fain to give up the enjoyment of the scenery, wtiien was comsuniiv increasing in neauty and to turn our attention to such things as unmeaiaieiy " ,'n ."' '"" i'"Min" " " ,M" conunuuicative conductor iam ti... .... t.;,.t, he drove, our driver himself seemed to he a subject next in interest. Having travelled much in stage coaches nt home, T could not help running a panillel between our own fine looking, excellently dressed whips, who wear nice buckskin gloves, and line broadcloth, thninsh a whip mounted with silver, certainly, if not with gold and precious stones, with the miser- able looking being before me eipupped in n dirty blouse and cap, who held Ins reins twisted in rj way, oneu formed of nncolored leather, WMMtd by trailing on the ground from the stable to the carriage, nnd then held by liandsctiny muddy, and better t;inned, which were never concealed hy gloves. tins iniiivunm drives his horses the customary ;d;iio' of six miles, and then takes care of them himself 111 ipinlity of hostler. His highest ambition consists in r-n-king his whip as loud and fast as possible in passing through the little villages on the route lie has nothing to say to the passengers, the conductor monopolizing that agreeable department entirely, and if he had, his unevenly cut hair brushed straight towards his nose, and his filthy general appearance would doubtless fail to make such an impression on his fair cargo, ns is done by the gallant attentions of the same class in the United Btaten. He never thinks of even looking at them, except on some routes to demand a " pour hoi re," which I translated to cnncthiiig for thr poor hou. This man has about sixty francs, or twelve dollars a month, and ... .Il.,......n.. f In... .m lpnvlLr III I in ri.. an allowance of two sous on each trnveller in the vehicle, amounting often to nearly as much more. This is p ud by ihe w ner-i, and s;ives ;in infinity nf trouble from the perpetual demands made in some countries not to forget the driver or conductor." On the sides of nenrlv all the ronds we meet men, women and children, who are engaged in tending Iheir cattle and sheep, while feeding. I bom' who are accustomed to pastures enclosed wibtin high fences, cannot easily comprehend the duties of the shephen' and cowherd, so often alluded to by novelists and other delinealors of manners. If he onlv calls to mind, however, that pastures he re are not separated prived of the control of his head, and consequently from the fields of gram or vegetables by the lest farm- mx an important means of mnkins heari against the era, he will iierceive immediately that their offices are ; which are very numerous. The ohjertion has M sinecures, especially where the feed is scanty, and j not mmk force however, as we know, that his tough resort ia consequently had to the sides of the road. iKjn j a roat of mail, possessing little sensibility to The cowherds often lead their cattle by a rop? fasten-! thnr attacks. Most of the countries of Furope, toed to the creatures' horns, restraining them just enough gather with Aljriers, Cuba, and South America are to prevent ineir nnriiiuig me iuwwbi (niiii, imi nhrase in the Bible employed for illustration, "the shepherd goeth Iwforc and the sheep follow him," can-! not be appreciated by one who haa only observed that j animal s extreme timidity in America, urging it to ea-J cape even from the person who has the care of him. It is necessary to see them here, where the shepherd never drives them, hut walks alone before, his rtoek following, and Ihe sagaen.us dog assisting and taking special care to prevent any from lugging ln-lnnd - have noticed them contentedly coming lh r their mas- ter through the midst of the busiest street of Pari, apparently unfnghteiied by the melee and placing im- phcit confidence in him and his doLr These nWth creatures, an they eat the herbage beside a field of grain or clover, ripening for the harvest, appear lobe anima- ted by appetites so subdued, or controlled by good breeding, as rarely to be tempted from their meagre fare to banquet, like a loafer, where they do not pos- sess a right ; and thoiiffh nothing that breathes, as I know of, lavishes more upmt tirk, than they do, yet thev never think of trittingany thing that way them- arlvea, bnt generally contrive to pay at tktp go, if not by the sweat of their brows, yet hy the fleece upn their barks This is total abstinence worthy of t lie name, because maintained in the midst of trial but justice requires in to confess, that it is somewhat pro- moted by the vigilant dog, who rapidly traveraes the front ranks of the flock, and instantly bites all the no-bob he Hilda trespass ng beyond their proper boundaries. It is painful however to see a strong woman or man thus tending a single cow, ortwoor three goats; hut it is sadder still to believe, that they cannot do better. The shepherd's dog has been the subject of so much encomium, that one is almost provoked to hud on sight, that he is not better looking; another instance of the hazard of trusting to appearances. For, like many homely men and women of good hearts, he improves upon acquaintance ; and, though certainly one of the ugliest curs that are ever seen even in Paris itself, the great dog kennel of the world, still by a singular, but very common process of self-delusion, one hy degrees loses sight of one deformity after another, till all of them have acquired in our eyes a reasonnhle share of positive iH-auty. We all know how easy it is from self love to think highly of our own, sometimes very ordinary faces ; but the power of association is not less marvellous, in transferring the loveable qualities of the character of others to the features of their persons. There is however no more time for matters of this sort, for we have now attained the lofty summit of the Jura range of mountains, up which we had been n long time slowly climbing, and the panorama of the Lake of Geneva lies outspread before us, far below in its Bniooth calm beauty. It was a scene that had delighted others of greater excitability than myself, und of unrivalled talent for delineating their sensations. Let those who desire a painting of this lovely spot, turn to the works of the greatest writers of the last and present ages, Rousseau, Voltaire, Byron, and Madame de Si m I Our descent down the mountain's side was exceedingly precipitous, and not wholly tree lrom (Ijmj;,ir. fnr ns Wl. rnpidlv wound round the angl. m(kl nvvvtsmry hy tu, deepness of the declivity, a nrht Bhock against a stone would have overturned our iullll)t.rln;? vehicle, and we should all have received wMMOOrtl forthe abyss Is-low and rolled down the i... of .,..; u-;t1(mt liein.r stonned bv nnv onic).rH rf M)liri. DD0B the way. Over the ton of the hill the forest trees lined both sides of the road ; not large, but young nnd vigorous, having a greener and thicker foliage, than those of mature growth. Amid the various shades of the maple, broad leafed linden and walnut, the long, pendulous, yellow blossoms of a BM.ri(.H ot- tllt. Acacia, formed a contrast of exquisite beauty. Hut we had no time for rhapsodies, the diligence thundered on, and novelty otter novelty crowded on our attention. The curious styles of building, the extensive graperies ami other objects of interest, al most distracted us, till we found ourselves at the gates nf Ihe city of (Icneva, where our passports were taken rri) n(1 ,mr pnom regarded, as if we were in tin net of entering the greatest kingdom ot the world. The whole seemed to me as ridiculous as a doll tricked out in a court dress. What an inexpressibly absurd system is this of passports ! They are a eonstnnt source of vexation nnd expense, and that too at present without the least practical utility. If money is sought to he extracted from the pockets of strangers visiting the country, it may he levied directly on their entrance, or n tax may be imposed 011 the inn-keeper, which, like Col. Crockett's " dead nigger," would be sure to Is' put in the bill. I canntliriu from actual observation, that no good is attained. When I arrived in France, for example, and went ashore from the ship nt Havre, my passport was not examined at all, Ihough that of every other person was very strictly, and 1 reached I'aris without having a vise from any one. When I lell it, I took Ihe precaution of procuring this from the ministers of all the countries through which I was to pass, which, with the ptioii ot that ot the hwiss, which cost a tranc, 1 pajd not!ling fnr hu, to the ( omwissionarr, who got tl...m f..r me On imvimr :it I i. umiw :in.-i 111 v n:i. " . : . r : . . . : J . port was rigorously inspected, while my nnhnor who had lost Ins, was permitted to proceed. Had I not possessed that document, and been a thief Hying from Justice, it would have been very easy to go from one state to another hy walking past the posts, ns none is required of a person entering on foot. And this solemn formality is exacted in every one of the diminutive states of Helvetia with a gravity so amusing as in part to compensate lor the trouble of witnessing the yiVrry ,.Uy territory npes the manners of th- ''in great kingdoms around, which lit them about ns wi ll ns grandfathers cocked hat anil spectacles do the spoiled child. The mnnncr of harnessing the oxen is an odd sight. Along oiirenlire route we have occasionally remarked them at work. Mnn indeed most eomnionlv performs the service of the brute, nnd after him the mule supplies the place of the ox. On the canal, which communicates with the city of Dijon, we passed several large boats laden with stone for building, which were slowly proceeding to the city, drawn by four men, harnessed to the end of n long rope by a strap passing over their shoulders. The Oxen, when employed, nre not attached by yokes with bows around their nocks. The yoke is fastened to the top of the head, or, if desirable, to the front, according to the position of the horns. A pad is put beneath it to prevent the friction which would necessarily ensue, and the whole is mad f . trnpof leather passing round it and the horns - r ... '. v forniinir in its evolutions an X. This on the whole is a much better method than harnessing them with Imiws. The animal being most powerful in the neck, his strength is in this way most advantageously developed. He is nlso more easily controlled, goes forward eipially well on level ground, nmi very much lsdter when it is inclined, tor he is then able to restrain the vehicle from a too rapid descent more completely, and with greater faedity, than with the I". iv It gives him the same superiority in hacking a vehicle. The principal objeclion, that was apparent to me in Hits mode in, that he was thus de accustomed to this way ol harnessing, ami it is gener- ally considered to combine advantages superior to any other. One often seea in rural towns, nnd even in considerable cities in this quarter, a single ox harnessed to a cart. The method of doing this is much the same as when a horse is used, with the reception of the hridb winch bring without a bit makes alt the differeiire Ii Weeii tfatM. He is driven Mil in shafts, and behaves w.lh the same dociltly as when patiently toiling by the H,. f roinpanion.

Being thus happily arrived after so much fatigue at a place of rest, 1 will immediately share it with you, who must stand in an much need of it a myself by thi time. A. K G A Komitncc of Heal Life Mrs. Child s letters from New York, which have lately been published by Wiley & Putnam, contain some very interesting; reminiscences, among which ia the following curious incident which occurred in the family of the authoress, while the yellow fever was raging in that city : One of iny father's brothers, residing in Boston at that time, became a victim to the pestilence. When the first symptoms nppeared, his wife sent the children into the country, and herself remained to attend upon him. Her friends warned her ugainst such rashnesa. They told her it would he death to her, and no benefit to him ; for he would soon be too ill to know who attended upon him. These arguments made no impres sion upon licrnttectinnnlr heart. She lelt that it would he a life long satisfact ion to her to know who attended upon him, if he did not. She accordingly staid and watched him with unremitting care. Thia, however, did not avail to save him. He grew worse and worse, and finally died. Those who went around with the death carta had visited the chamber, and seen that the end was near. They now came to take the body. His wife refused to let it go. She told them (hat she never knew how to account for it but thought he was perfectly cold and rigid, and to every appearance quite dead, there was a powerful impression on her mind that life was not extinct. The men were overborne by her conviction, though their own reason was opposed to it. The half-hour again came round, and again was heard the solemn words h Bring out your dead." The wife again refused their iinporttmities ; but this time the men were more resolute. They said the duty assigned to them was a painful one ; but the health of the city required punctual obedience to the orders they received ; if they ever expected the pestilence to abate, it must be by a prompt removal of the dead, and immediate fumigation of the infected apartments. Sho pleaded and pleaded, and even knelt to them in agony of tears, continually saying, N I am sure he is not dead." The men represented the utter absurdity of such an idea ; but finally, overcome by her tears, again departed. With trembling haste she renewed her effort to restore life. She raised his head, rolled his limbs in hot fiaunel, and placed hot onions on his feet. The dreadful half hour again came round, and found him a cold nnd rigid a ever. She renewed her entreaties so desperately, that the messenger began to think a little gentle force would be necessary. They accordingly attempted to remove the body against her will ; but she threw herself ujmhi it, and clung to it with such frantic strength, that they could not easily loosen her grasp. Impressed by the remarkable energy of her will, they relaxed their efforts. To all remonstrance she answered, " If yon bury him, you shall bury mm with him." .At last, hy dint of reasoning on the necessity of the case, they ohtained from her a promise, that if he showed no signs of life before they again came around, she would make no opposition to the re- moyal. Having gained this respite, she hung the watch upon the bed post, and renewed her effort with redoubled real. She placed kegs of hot water about him, forced brandy bet ween his teeth, breathed into his nos. trils, and held hartshorn to his nose; hut still the Imdy lay motionless nnd cold. She looked anxiously at the watch ; in five minutes the promised half-hour would expire, and these dreadful voices would be heard passing through the street. HoM'lessness came over her ; she dropped the head she had been sustaining; her hand trembled violently ; and the hartshorn she had been holding was spilled on the pallid face. Accidentally, the position of the head had become slightly tipped biickwards, and the powerful liquid flowed into his nostrils. Instantly, there waa a sharp quick gasp a struggle his eyes opened I and when the deathmen came ngain, they found him sitting up in the lied. He is still alive, and has enjoyed unusual good health. Chinn--Thf Christian Religion. The KinperorofChina,at the request of the French Minister, has issued an edict, tolerating Christian worship, and declaring that his government haa never prohibited the Christian religion, but only nought to suppress the vices nnd punish th' crimes practiced under its cloak. Henceforth all Chinese and foreign residents, may profess that religion if they please, creating no disturbance and doing no wrong, nut should they resume their former ways, they are to be dealt with according to law. I his edict is published at length in the Missionary Herald for October, and concludes as follows: "With regard to the French, and the subject of other foreign nations who profess the aforesaid religion, it is only permitted them to build churches at the five port opened for foreign commerce, and they must not improperly enter the inner land to diffuse their faith. Should any offend against the regula lions and overstep the lioundaries, the local officer, as soon as they can apprehend them, shnll immediately deliver them over to the Consuls of the different nations to he punished ; hut they must not raahly inflict on them the punishment of death. This is in order to manifest a tender regard for the common people, so that the wheat and the chaff is not confusedly mixed together, and that reason and law may he equitably administered. That which is requested is, that the good and honest professors of the aforesaid religion may he exempted front punishment; it is reasonable, therefore, that a repeetful memorial he presented, entrenting that, hy the Imperial favor, the above suggestions may he carried into effect. ' Ti Menus, r. is Cosjectici t. The electors of the State of Connecticut voted on .Monday on the License question, pursuant to the provisions of a law of the last legislature of that State. They did not vote directly on the issue, 11 License or no Lieense," but elected three CmmMV)sMbMJ for each town, who possess full power to license or restrain the sale of wines and spirituous liquors in the town for one vear. Th result was that more than three-fourths of the town in the Slate have pretty certainly voted not to hrense ih" -ile of intoxicating liqimra.

In ndditttm to n few remarks in my lust tetter 011 mill tary trniniiif:, suller me to tmy, that however valuable the education ot' some of our officer! abroad may be, it will lie of uinall avail, if the information thus acquired as in the c;uii' of two of tlieui, who have been students nt the jrrent Military Acntieuty at Metlj shall not be implied to mitten OT practical utility. They were sent 10 that institution alninsl exclusivctv to learn from the clinical instruction, if I may call it so, which is given there, tin method of conducting sieges, constructing batteries, milieu, etc., in order to instructadetai'lnneiit of our little army in this very important brunch of the military art. This accomplished, we should he in a state of preparation for coming events, which are even now ensting their shadows before. Hut, judging from past management, I don't suppose, that any body, among the very modest and unassuming population of the United Stales, believes, that any thing can ever happen to render such acquisitions of the leMt consequence.Who believes, that (Jibraller itself enn hold out n-ga'uist an army composed of the genuine sovereign people a moment longer, than it will take to walk into it.' The walls ot J lie walls ot Jericho lell down at tin- slmut n! the chosen MMU without the application ol nattering ram or artillery, sappers or miners. ny sunum not w ose , nf Quebec then do the same at the mere hurrah of battall.ons, who, it not actually cAo.sc,, are to a man tUgmt to the highest Offloefl 111 the Stale ? Our mil.- 1 tary men indeed nel:eve, that to succeed m attacks on fortified plan a corps of suppers and miners is highly , convenient, 11ml, in general, absolutely iiulispensihle And of such a body trained to make bricks without 1 straw, to turn houses ami barns into forts, fences into ! ramparts, and stone walls into impregnable citadels, we ; have not a single man, save a few ollicers, of whose j services death may at any time deprive the country, 1 ivwium '"o" " "-"h i trievable. Jtut Conirress must he excused for their inattention to this, and many other great interests of the community. How is it possible for a politician, for j he is not a statesman who is eternally looking at everv tiling through a microscope of his own dirty self interest how is it possible for such n man to see any oh- I ject, which shall happen to lie a single yard beyond its contracted focus 5 F-very thing really elevated, public and above board, is clearly beyond the range ot his eye. Hut there is one little speek, which he watches with the keen glance of an eagle, though at a distance, it may be of a thousand miles from the Capitol ut Washington, and marks its slightest vibration it is the hallot-hox ot' his constituents. From this mighty symbol he never withdraws bis gn.e, unless it is to ti v it on a still more fascinating vision at the White House, which at one time looks like blind Fortune dispensing gifts to bending suppliants around, at another seems an angry magistrate, pronouncing sentence. The weather, which, since our first day's ride, had been almost continually a kind of dn' oiis drizzle, now as we approached the boundaries id' I ranee and Switzerland came to a resolution to clear up its mtfttiUd character, and the rain descended in a most decided niiinner. Jteing no longer in any doubt on that matter, we were fain to give up the enjoyment of the scenery, wtiien was comsuniiv increasing in neauty and to turn our attention to such things as unmeaiaieiy " ,'n ."' '"" i'"Min" " " ,M" conunuuicative conductor iam ti... .... t.;,.t, he drove, our driver himself seemed to he a subject next in interest. Having travelled much in stage coaches nt home, T could not help running a panillel between our own fine looking, excellently dressed whips, who wear nice buckskin gloves, and line broadcloth, thninsh a whip mounted with silver, certainly, if not with gold and precious stones, with the miser- able looking being before me eipupped in n dirty blouse and cap, who held Ins reins twisted in rj way, oneu formed of nncolored leather, WMMtd by trailing on the ground from the stable to the carriage, nnd then held by liandsctiny muddy, and better t;inned, which were never concealed hy gloves. tins iniiivunm drives his horses the customary ;d;iio' of six miles, and then takes care of them himself 111 ipinlity of hostler.

On the sides of nenrlv all the ronds we meet men, women and children, who are engaged in tending Iheir cattle and sheep, while feeding. I bom' who are accustomed to pastures enclosed wibtin high fences, cannot easily comprehend the duties of the shephen' and cowherd, so often alluded to by novelists and other delinealors of manners. If he onlv calls to mind, however, that pastures he re are not separated prived of the control of his head, and consequently from the fields of gram or vegetables by the lest farm- mx an important means of mnkins heari against the era, he will iierceive immediately that their offices are ; which are very numerous.

It is painful however to see a strong woman or man thus tending a single cow, ortwoor three goats; hut it is sadder still to believe, that they cannot do better. The shepherd's dog has been the subject of so much encomium, that one is almost provoked to hud on sight, that he is not better looking; another instance of the hazard of trusting to appearances. For, like many homely men and women of good hearts, he improves upon acquaintance ; and, though certainly one of the ugliest curs that are ever seen even in Paris itself, the great dog kennel of the world, still by a singular, but very common process of self-delusion, one hy degrees loses sight of one deformity after another, till all of them have acquired in our eyes a reasonnhle share of positive iH-auty. We all know how easy it is from self love to think highly of our own, sometimes very ordinary faces ; but the power of association is not less marvellous, in transferring the loveable qualities of the character of others to the features of their persons. There is however no more time for matters of this sort, for we have now attained the lofty summit of the Jura range of mountains, up which we had been n long time slowly climbing, and the panorama of the Lake of Geneva lies outspread before us, far below in its Bniooth calm beauty. It was a scene that had delighted others of greater excitability than myself, und of unrivalled talent for delineating their sensations. Let those who desire a painting of this lovely spot, turn to the works of the greatest writers of the last and present ages, Rousseau, Voltaire, Byron, and Madame de Si m I Our descent down the mountain's side was exceedingly precipitous, and not wholly tree lrom (Ijmj;,ir. fnr ns Wl. rnpidlv wound round the angl. m(kl nvvvtsmry hy tu, deepness of the declivity, a nrht Bhock against a stone would have overturned our iullll)t.rln;? vehicle, and we should all have received wMMOOrtl forthe abyss Is-low and rolled down the i... of .,..; u-;t1(mt liein.r stonned bv nnv onic).rH rf M)liri. DD0B the way. Over the ton of the hill the forest trees lined both sides of the road ; not large, but young nnd vigorous, having a greener and thicker foliage, than those of mature growth. Amid the various shades of the maple, broad leafed linden and walnut, the long, pendulous, yellow blossoms of a BM.ri(.H ot- tllt. Acacia, formed a contrast of exquisite beauty. Hut we had no time for rhapsodies, the diligence thundered on, and novelty otter novelty crowded on our attention. The curious styles of building, the extensive graperies ami other objects of interest, al most distracted us, till we found ourselves at the gates nf Ihe city of (Icneva, where our passports were taken rri) n(1 ,mr pnom regarded, as if we were in tin net of entering the greatest kingdom ot the world. The whole seemed to me as ridiculous as a doll tricked out in a court dress. What an inexpressibly absurd system is this of passports ! They are a eonstnnt source of vexation nnd expense, and that too at present without the least practical utility. If money is sought to he extracted from the pockets of strangers visiting the country, it may he levied directly on their entrance, or n tax may be imposed 011 the inn-keeper, which, like Col. Crockett's " dead nigger," would be sure to Is' put in the bill. I canntliriu from actual observation, that no good is attained. When I arrived in France, for example, and went ashore from the ship nt Havre, my passport was not examined at all, Ihough that of every other person was very strictly, and 1 reached I'aris without having a vise from any one. When I lell it, I took Ihe precaution of procuring this from the ministers of all the countries through which I was to pass, which, with the ptioii ot that ot the hwiss, which cost a tranc, 1 pajd not!ling fnr hu, to the ( omwissionarr, who got tl...m f..r me On imvimr :it I i. umiw :in.-i 111 v n:i.

Had I not possessed that document, and been a thief Hying from Justice, it would have been very easy to go from one state to another hy walking past the posts, ns none is required of a person entering on foot.

The mnnncr of harnessing the oxen is an odd sight. Along oiirenlire route we have occasionally remarked them at work. Mnn indeed most eomnionlv performs the service of the brute, nnd after him the mule supplies the place of the ox. On the canal, which communicates with the city of Dijon, we passed several large boats laden with stone for building, which were slowly proceeding to the city, drawn by four men, harnessed to the end of n long rope by a strap passing over their shoulders. The Oxen, when employed, nre not attached by yokes with bows around their nocks. The yoke is fastened to the top of the head, or, if desirable, to the front, according to the position of the horns. A pad is put beneath it to prevent the friction which would necessarily ensue, and the whole is mad f . trnpof leather passing round it and the horns - r ... '. v forniinir in its evolutions an X. This on the whole is a much better method than harnessing them with Imiws. The animal being most powerful in the neck, his strength is in this way most advantageously developed. He is nlso more easily controlled, goes forward eipially well on level ground, nmi very much lsdter when it is inclined, tor he is then able to restrain the vehicle from a too rapid descent more completely, and with greater faedity, than with the I". iv It gives him the same superiority in hacking a vehicle. The principal objeclion, that was apparent to me in Hits mode in, that he was thus de accustomed to this way ol harnessing, ami it is gener- ally considered to combine advantages superior to any other. One often seea in rural towns, nnd even in considerable cities in this quarter, a single ox harnessed to a cart. The method of doing this is much the same as when a horse is used, with the reception of the hridb winch bring without a bit makes alt the differeiire Ii Weeii tfatM. He is driven Mil in shafts, and behaves w.lh the same dociltly as when patiently toiling by the H,. f roinpanion.

K G A Komitncc of Heal Life Mrs. Child s letters from New York, which have lately been published by Wiley & Putnam, contain some very interesting; reminiscences, among which ia the following curious incident which occurred in the family of the authoress, while the yellow fever was raging in that city : One of iny father's brothers, residing in Boston at that time, became a victim to the pestilence. When the first symptoms nppeared, his wife sent the children into the country, and herself remained to attend upon him. Her friends warned her ugainst such rashnesa. They told her it would he death to her, and no benefit to him ; for he would soon be too ill to know who attended upon him. These arguments made no impres sion upon licrnttectinnnlr heart. She lelt that it would he a life long satisfact ion to her to know who attended upon him, if he did not. She accordingly staid and watched him with unremitting care. Thia, however, did not avail to save him. He grew worse and worse, and finally died. Those who went around with the death carta had visited the chamber, and seen that the end was near. They now came to take the body. His wife refused to let it go. She told them (hat she never knew how to account for it but thought he was perfectly cold and rigid, and to every appearance quite dead, there was a powerful impression on her mind that life was not extinct. The men were overborne by her conviction, though their own reason was opposed to it. The half-hour again came round, and again was heard the solemn words h Bring out your dead." The wife again refused their iinporttmities ; but this time the men were more resolute. They said the duty assigned to them was a painful one ; but the health of the city required punctual obedience to the orders they received ; if they ever expected the pestilence to abate, it must be by a prompt removal of the dead, and immediate fumigation of the infected apartments. Sho pleaded and pleaded, and even knelt to them in agony of tears, continually saying, N I am sure he is not dead." The men represented the utter absurdity of such an idea ; but finally, overcome by her tears, again departed. With trembling haste she renewed her effort to restore life. She raised his head, rolled his limbs in hot fiaunel, and placed hot onions on his feet. The dreadful half hour again came round, and found him a cold nnd rigid a ever. She renewed her entreaties so desperately, that the messenger began to think a little gentle force would be necessary. They accordingly attempted to remove the body against her will ; but she threw herself ujmhi it, and clung to it with such frantic strength, that they could not easily loosen her grasp. Impressed by the remarkable energy of her will, they relaxed their efforts. To all remonstrance she answered, " If yon bury him, you shall bury mm with him." .At last, hy dint of reasoning on the necessity of the case, they ohtained from her a promise, that if he showed no signs of life before they again came around, she would make no opposition to the re- moyal. Having gained this respite, she hung the watch upon the bed post, and renewed her effort with redoubled real. She placed kegs of hot water about him, forced brandy bet ween his teeth, breathed into his nos. trils, and held hartshorn to his nose; hut still the Imdy lay motionless nnd cold. She looked anxiously at the watch ; in five minutes the promised half-hour would expire, and these dreadful voices would be heard passing through the street. HoM'lessness came over her ; she dropped the head she had been sustaining; her hand trembled violently ; and the hartshorn she had been holding was spilled on the pallid face. Accidentally, the position of the head had become slightly tipped biickwards, and the powerful liquid flowed into his nostrils. Instantly, there waa a sharp quick gasp a struggle his eyes opened I and when the deathmen came ngain, they found him sitting up in the lied. He is still alive, and has enjoyed unusual good health. Chinn--Thf Christian Religion. The KinperorofChina,at the request of the French Minister, has issued an edict, tolerating Christian worship, and declaring that his government haa never prohibited the Christian religion, but only nought to suppress the vices nnd punish th' crimes practiced under its cloak. Henceforth all Chinese and foreign residents, may profess that religion if they please, creating no disturbance and doing no wrong, nut should they resume their former ways, they are to be dealt with according to law. I his edict is published at length in the Missionary Herald for October, and concludes as follows: "With regard to the French, and the subject of other foreign nations who profess the aforesaid religion, it is only permitted them to build churches at the five port opened for foreign commerce, and they must not improperly enter the inner land to diffuse their faith. Should any offend against the regula lions and overstep the lioundaries, the local officer, as soon as they can apprehend them, shnll immediately deliver them over to the Consuls of the different nations to he punished ; hut they must not raahly inflict on them the punishment of death. This is in order to manifest a tender regard for the common people, so that the wheat and the chaff is not confusedly mixed together, and that reason and law may he equitably administered. That which is requested is, that the good and honest professors of the aforesaid religion may he exempted front punishment; it is reasonable, therefore, that a repeetful memorial he presented, entrenting that, hy the Imperial favor, the above suggestions may he carried into effect.
